“They have a private person’s name come up.”
I’ve never seen Jewish/tzedakas do that. Spoofed Caller ID is generally done by many shady secular telemarketers and bill collectors.

The council district Hikind is running in has a huge proportion of Yiddish as a first language demographic. And the others are mostly also Yiddish capable.
No, the point of the convention is to propose amendments to the existing state constitution.
Six figures and you’re looking for a short term solution?? If you’re looking for a long term solution you won’t find a safer+better return combination than the S&P 500 index.
If you need total safety in returns look at U.S. Treasuries. Otherwise almost any 5 or 10 year period in the S&P will be fine. As far as exceptions, you’ll find more exceptions elsewhere.
The other major outlets are far worse. The mainstream media are extreme left-wing, politically, anti-religiously and immorally. They are all focused exclusively on whatever so-called news they think will make the President of the United States look bad. However tiny, small or otherwise the story is in the grand scheme, to promote their Democrat Party agenda that’s what they’ll heavily focus on. The MSM will throw in a huge dose of their opinions into what they call news and make ridiculous speculation that usually is false and far from reality. And they are far from free of peddling outright false stories.
Fox isn’t good either. (Virtually none of the media is.) But they are far less bad than their far left competitors that are the mainstream media.
Is moving to Lakewood viable? A three bedroom basement in Lakewood proper could be had for no more than $1000/month. A smaller basement, with kitchen and all, for several hundred dollars less than that. And doubling or tripling up with some other frum guys sharing a basement would probably run you only a few hundred dollars a month.
Kosher food will be much less expensive too.
The stock market is one of the safest long term places to invest funds. Put the money into an S&P 500 index fund (or ETF) and sleep well. (Don’t invest in individual stocks or managed funds.)
A physicist, a biologist, and a mathematician are sitting on a bench across from a house. They watch as two people go into the house, and then a little later, three people walk out.
The physicist says, “The initial measurement was incorrect.”
The biologist says, “They must have reproduced.”
And the mathematician says, “If exactly one person enters that house, it will be empty.”
Three statisticians go out hunting together. After a while they spot a solitary rabbit. The first statistician takes aim and overshoots. The second aims and undershoots. The third shouts out “We got him!”
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, Halloween originated with the pagan Celtic festival of Samhain, a day on which the devil was invoked for the various divinations. ‘The souls of the dead were supposed to revisit their homes on this day’, Britannica says, ‘and the autumnal festival acquired sinister significance, with ghosts, witches, hobgoblins .. and demons of all kinds said to be roaming about.’
It is noted by Professor John Hennig, in his classical article on this topic, there is a clear historical relationship between the Celtic concepts of resurrection, Roman Catholic responses to it, and the modern American holiday of Halloween.
Where do you live that the shkotzim do “tricks” on Jewish homes that don’t give?

According to halacha you don’t have to send it back. It could even be that you are not permitted to send it back.
Ash, she certainly can claim that. But that isn’t the default. By default Halacha, any income or assets she comes into possession to during the course of marriage belongs to her husband. Furthermore, if she does claim איני ניזונת ואיני עושה, she forfeits her right to have her husband support her. Critically, as well, is if she does make that claim it is only effective going forward, not retroactively. So any income and assets (other than a small number of exceptions such as gifts he gave her) that she accumulated during the course of her marriage up to and until the point she makes that formal claim, still remain the full property of her husband.
Since the discussion here is about divorce, if she hadn’t previously claimed this before divorce was considered it is of no use to her since up to that point all income and assets belong to him and she can only claim it for future income or assets that she generates.
No one has to listen but certainly anyone has a right to express an opinion.
People outside Lakewood have no right to an expressed opinion on a Lakewood public policy matter?
“Maybe I’ve just never had a good one.”
Where have you had steak sandwiches?
… and how is a tzedaka bittul zman?
Mussaf can be said all day. Did they daven Mussaf at the end of the day?
Are there not many people who yarshen a Talis and/or Tefilin from their father, grandfather, great-grandfather, etc., and proudly wear many decades or a century or more after it was first used by their zeidas?
Keep them.
This is a duplicate thread: https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/charities
CTL, when your wife was ill and people were saying Tehilim for her, what name was used for your wife in the tefilos — wife bas Sarah Rivkah or wife bas Sorel Rivil?
“My aunt always tells me that “simchos” should be “smachot”.”
Your aunt is Sephardic?
“there is a large stone for the family plot with the family name at top, and married last names below.”
How is the “family name” different than the “married last name”?
Wouldn’t wives be buried with their husbands in their husband’s family cemetery/family area? So you’d have your male family members and their wives buried in your family area whereas your female family members would be buried with their husband in his family area.
This discussion brings up another interesting question. Who will mother in law’s husband be after techiyas hameisim?
Also, is there a common Jewish or halachic standard as to which husband to bury a twice-widowed wife next to?
As far as a twice-widower gentleman, it would seem he could be buried next to both his wives who predeceased him.
“May she know of no more “tzahr” only smachot.”
Pardon my brief interlude, but this quite common saying after a petira is a bit confusing. Does this bracha mean that a person should never again have family members pass away?
Don’t rely on me, but my thinking is that something like Sorel Rivil is merely a nickname of Sarah Rivkah, and not the actual name. Much like Yankel is a nickname for Yaakov, but he’d still get called to the Torah as Yaakov not Yankel.
I think it would be unusual and confusing to put her name on husband #1’s matzeiva if she isn’t buried there.
Keep it.
Switch to VoIP and block numbers that robocall.
Which clear cut issur in Shulchan Aruch do they violate?
What did you do with your original Retzuos and Tallis after you replaced them?
Lenny, how does her lawyer’s dragging out the civil divorce hurt you (which you seem to indicate is his goal of dragging it out)?
What does animal welfare mean, that this money is being spent on?
Rent is very cheap in Lakewood.
Yankelle, I’ll answer you in a new thread.
Lakewood has inexpensive rent plus low cost kosher food.
Man has the right to use animals to make leather wallets, other leather products, upholstery, interior decorating, fur for hats, coats, clothing, etc. Hashem provided animals to man for all these purposes.
Give the other parts to needy families or something. Otherwise you might run into bal tashchis.
Lakewood is growing k’h by leaps and bounds. A lot lot more buildings are needed for the booming population growth.
Baruch Hashem for the newly approved zoning allowing more needed buildings.
